MORNING GHOULIES.

woke up to an internet connection.  WAHOOO! 

we've never had any issues before - the connection is reliable and uber speedy - but for some odd reason the DNS went down like 2-3 times over the weekend. 

i guess it didnt much matter since the weather was SPECTACULAR.  everyone should have been outside enjoying it (while its here) rather than sitting on the computers.  LOL.


still feelin' like im playing a  little catch up.  but im thankful for a back at it week this week.

though i know recovery weeks are necessary, im always glad to get back at a regular schedule.

i think ive pounded out one that will work from now until mid-Jan when i start my OLY trng.

its a cool feeling though, looking at where im at now heading into winter, compared to where i was this time last year.

i was JUST starting out w tri trng - cycling was brand new as was swimming.

i really felt it on Saturday, during 2 hr endurance...and then when i did my mile swim yesturday just how far ive come!

its an uber cool place to be.


3 miler and THE DREADED ST on tap today.

must.  catch.  up.  to.  TRIDORK!

How's it going this morning? Did you both have a good weekend?


It was good.  We hit 70 here.  I got out on the bike 3 times!

sorry, Bill.  I'm trying not to rub it in

aspeelma - 2009-11-06 3:00 AM good morning ghoulies!!!!

How you doin' Tom?


Doing well Ann, thanks for asking! Got my fitness test done today, making it 2 ST sessions for me this month. Also, I broke 10 minutes on the mile and a half run for the first time in 6 years! 9:56 baby!!!


WOOHOO!!! Way to go Tom!!!


Thanks Ann! How are you doing this fine Sunday?


I've been a bum all afternoon. I ran 7 miles this morning, then walked a mile as a cool down. When I got home I made a smoothie, weighed myself, put on my robe and have spent most of the rest of the day relaxing in my favorite chair in a quiet house. I really should go shower.


oh ANN.

sounds like the best day EVER.

deehtz - 2009-11-06 3:46 PM I got my jog in this morning, but the weirdest thing happened.  About 5 min. into it, I stopped at a corner to stretch.  This guy (probably at least late  60s pulls up and parks his pickup.  He heads towards me, asks if I am heading out or just finishing a run.  Then proceeds to tell me that running, biking, etc. doesn't do my health any good.  I DON'T want a conversation with this guy, so I just shrug and say I just do it for fun.  Then he says, "Yeah, my son smokes marijuana "for fun"  and the endorphin high from exercise does the same thing to a person's health.  Running and biking are  very bad for your health."  Then he hands me a card and says to check it out on his website.  He also says that he is a "class 2" bike rider meaning that he could ride with Lance if he came to town.      Yeah, right!  I so do not believe THAT one.

Anyway, at that point, I took off jogging.  I haven't gone to his website because if he has a counter on his site, I don't want to encourage him.    The whole thing was rather bizarre.  

On the other hand, I really enjoyed my jog!


Maybe he thought you were cute and he was trying to pick you up.


Ugh!!  Perish the thought!


Laughing


I have to admit that on my run today, I kept an eye out for his pickup.  But thankfully did not see it.   Smile

Sounds like you have a really good day just enjoying!    7 miles, wow!  To me that is a lot, but I will get there someday.  It feels good to just have time to kick back and relax, doesn't it


DEE.  your smart.  stay aware.  best defense.

as for 7 miles seemingly like a lot,  you will MOST CERTAINLY get there someday.  and more than likely w how persistent and consistent you are, and your enthusiasm for the 'sport', probably sooner than you think.

JUST.  KEEP.  RUNNING.

iowagander - 2009-11-08 5:56 PM Hey Ghoulies! I just got back from my 5 miler. I'm on pace for a good month, but Ann-uendo is still on top... for now  All my joints are happy with me for the moment too, so I'm pretty pumped.

Tomorrow is my stretching and ST day, so I'll have one more in the books in that department. I hope everyone's having a nice weekend!


on pace for a good month, TOM?  that's AWESOME NEWS, dude.

happy joints are always good. 

YOU.  JUST.  KEEP.  RUNNING.  TOO.

eve GHOULIES.

ive spent most of the day w/out an internet connection.  BAH!

thanks ALREADY for the HIM well-wishes/inspires/words of encouragement.

its gonna be SOME journey.

i had a lazy sorta day as well....i went to the Y and did a 1 mile continuous swim, then short, easy run on the TM.

i kept looking out the window pining away for the sun and cool breeze. 

ah well. plenty of days to run outside if not before winter sets in somethin' fierce.

it WAS a good plan moving forward, the xtra few days have really turned things around w my hip/glute/IT.

i was starting to worry that perhaps it was gonna be something more 'permanent'

turns out not to be the case, thankfully.


pounded out my winter maintenance schedule.  a little boring to be honest.

i have a hard time not having an event on the horizon, but i have to say, SETTING THE 1/2 IM INTENTION, even though the race itself is 'down the road' has really given me some renewed focus and enthusiasm.


i just found out my friend L., placed 2nd overall in the ATHENA division.  she is MY HERO. i cant wait to give her a HUGE congratulatory HUG.

and sloppy kisses. 


welp GHOULIES, barring any internet issues, ill see you in the morning.

3mile run and ST on tap for tomorrow.

nighty night.
stacieb



Sorry you had to go without an internet connection for most of the day. I HATE when that happens!

Glad you have some nice weather (hopefully) still on the horizon, and that your upper-leg issues are healing nicely. Have a nice night!


id be lost w/out internet.  i seriously would lose it.   

im hoping for the nice weather to continue as well, TOM.  storing up all that Vitamin D for the loooong, dreary, gray days that PGH is SO famous for.

and upper legs healing nicely indeed.  WANNA SEE?? 

it was nice night.  reading my book (finally finished it) and then tucked myself in bed uber early.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-09 7:30 AM Ann,

Good weekend but I was depressed because I could not run or ride my bike and it was stunning out all weekend long (almost 70 yesterday!)


Yes it was a beautiful weekend, but don't be depressed. You are taking care of yourself now so you can enjoy next summer when there will be more beautiful days and races to ROCK!

Hi Amy! Having a nice weekend so far?

It was nice. Devoid of exercise, unfortunately, but still nice. Got some quality time with the hubby and kids.


quality time with the hubby and kids always trumps anyday w excercise as being SUPER DUPER.

glad you had a nice one, AMY!

Yes, you will get there. It has taken me a long time. When I started all of this a year ago, I never would have thought I'd be going out for 7 mile runs. Hang in there!!!
